“I went from being overjoyed and planning to welcome a baby into the world, to instead doctors telling me that I had a tumour and if they tried to cut it out I would bleed to death."

Alice underwent eight sessions of low-dose chemotherapy which stopped the tumour from growing.

But one morning in September she woke up with agonising pains.

Alice called her doctor who confirmed she was effectively in labour.

She was taken to Hereford County Hospital and had to ‘give birth’ to the tumour, which weighed around one pound.

“It was really traumatic. First, I was in a side room of A&E and then had to be taken to the women’s ward where heavily pregnant women ready to give birth were. It was heartbreaking,” she told Sunday Mirror.

“After 30 hours I expelled the tumour on the toilet. It was such a traumatic experience."

In December she was give the "all-clear" and is now in remission.

Alice hopes that she and partner Christopher can start a family in the "near future".
